Art Therapy Courses Malaysia

Online Certificate & Diploma Courses

Searching for art therapy Malaysia? Welcome, you’ve come to the right place! You are also joining a growing number of people aiming to expand their knowledge and skills in therapy in what is now a blossoming area of expertise.

The Malaysian Association of Psychotherapy (MAP) describes art therapy as “a mental health profession that uses the creative process of art making to improve and enhance the physical, mental and emotional well-being of individuals of all ages. It is based on the belief that the creative process involved in artistic self-expression helps people to resolve conflicts and problems, develop interpersonal skills, manage behaviour, reduce stress, increase self-esteem and self-awareness, and achieve insight.” Those studying art therapy regularly confirm that not only are they further equipped to help others but their own lives are enriched in the process, too.

If you live in Malaysia and you are on the look out for an Australian-based educational experience to strengthen your own therapy skillset or would like to work as a professional art therapist, the College for Educational and Clinical Art Therapy (CECAT) will provide you with a solid foundation.

At CECAT, our students are able to finish our entire courses online; yes, from the comfort of their own homes. The courses are enriched with one-on-one Skype meetings with our Director and Senior Lecturer, psychologist Robert Gray.

If you’re planning a trip to Australia in the future, we provide an alternative to the Skype meetings. In this case, you could attend one of our on-campus Intensives. Yes, choose an Australian city you prefer and you’ll get to work with Robert in person! These Intensives run over an engaging 5 Days (after completing the 10 Certificate modules) or 3 Days (after completing the 5 Diploma modules).

You are invited to read on to discover all that we offer at CECAT.

At the time of starting this art therapy course, I had for a long time found it difficult to paint, draw or do any creative endeavour. By the end of the training, I was painting and planning to give painting more space in my life.”
